South African singer Tyla made a stylish return to The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, delivering a confident performance of her Billboard Hot 100 hit single Chanel on Tuesday night.
The 23-year-old star impressed viewers with a poised, memorable performance, further cementing her status as one of the most exciting young artists on the global music scene.
For the performance, Tyla stepped out in a ready-to-wear Chanel outfit that complemented both the song’s mood and title.
Staying true to Chanel, the fashion-forward look added an extra layer of symbolism and elegance, drawing attention from the studio audience and fans watching at home.
In contrast to many of her previous stage appearances, Tyla performed solo without her usual backup dancers.
The stripped-down stage setup placed full focus on her vocals and stage presence. The only standout prop was a giant red shoe, which added a bold visual twist while keeping the overall production minimal and intentional.
The performance highlighted Tyla’s growing confidence as a live performer, showing her ability to command the stage on her own with ease and maturity.
Tyla’s appearance comes just days ahead of the 2026 Grammy Awards, scheduled for Sunday, February 1.
She is nominated in the Best African Performance category for her song Push 2 Start, putting her in contention for a second Grammy win following her historic first award.
With Chanel continuing to gain traction and Grammy buzz building, Tyla’s return to Jimmy Fallon signals a strong moment in what is shaping up to be another milestone year in her career.
